Meee-YOW!

A little-known inside scoop regarding Chelsea Handler: the longtime relationship she had until recently with former E! programming head Ted Harbert was scandalous -- not just because Handler was accused of breaking up Harbert's marriage, but also because industry heavyweights considered Handler's success a serious case of nepotism. (Yep, we at LimeLife have our sources.) But now Chelsea Handler has revealed that she's with someone new, younger and wilder! Rawhr!

Thirty-five-year-old Chelsea Handler appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this week and said that when she first saw Animal Planet host David Salmoni, she said, "I looked at him and I thought, 'I would like to get penetrated by that!'"

On what Salmoni's appeal is, Handler joked, "He's not only good looking, he's somebody who can protect you from a bear or lion." She also revealed what so many of us women hide: when she sets her sights on somebody, she just has to go after him -- said Handler, "If I like someone, I have to tell them, 'I like you! Come with me!'"

David Salmoni, 34, is a Canadian animal trainer, zoologist, TV host and producer. Salmoni hosts Animal Planet's Into the Pride and once told Anderson Cooper that he strongly feels monkeys should not be kept as pets...and yet he's dating Chelsea Handler?

We jest. Pop the blue tops for more celeb love unexpecteds as we enter the weekend! Happy Friday, LimeLifers!
